Leave campaigners celebrated the result at the East Yorkshire count

All parts of East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire recorded a substantial majority in favour of leaving the European Union.

More than 60% of voters across the region voted for Brexit.

The highest leave vote was in North East Lincolnshire with 70% of people voting in favour.

Turnout was above 60%, with the highest in the East Riding of Yorkshire with almost 75% of voters visiting the polls.

UKIP campaigner Sergi Singh, speaking at the count in Hull's Guildhall, said he was delighted at the result.

"You've taken the fish away from us, but you can't take our freedom," he said.

Mr Singh said the result expressed the real feelings of the electorate.

"The three Labour MPs and the 59 councillors of this city are totally on the wrong page," he said. "They don't listen to the electorate on the doorstep and the issues of day to day life in the city of Hull."
